The Canadian Beef Industry
Canada is one of the leading beef-producing nations in the world and the beef and cattle sector makes a significant contribution to the Canadian economy. There are nearly 90,000 cattle producers on farms and ranches across Canada. This production creates employment in related sectors such as processing, retail, food service and transportation. In total, the beef and cattle sector contributes more than $20 billion each year to the Canadian economy. The Canadian beef industry is firmly committed to growing demand for Canadian beef by meeting the expectations of our customers. More than 95% of Canadians surveyed would prefer to purchase beef that is produced on Canadian farms and ranches instead of beef imported from other countries.1 Consumer preferences and the ongoing development of key production and meat quality attributes help define the Canadian Beef Advantage.
